Hmm, I'm not sure if I understand you. Is this what you did?

$ cd garnome-2.18.0/
$ cd desktop/
$ make clean

Also, what do you mean exactly by that description? How does it not
build properly? What about the linking?

FWIW, if the above really is, what you did, then it will result in the
entire desktop/ directory being cleaned and re-set to the state exactly
like it has been when extracting the GARNOME tarball.

However, this is not a good idea, if you want to build additional
applications after that. GARNOME is a build environment, and the
dependencies are provided by this environment. When building any
application from GARNOME, it will make sure that all dependencies are
built as well -- which means the "build root" directory, the extracted
GARNOME tarball. It does not check if the dependencies are installed
somewhere in the currently set $PATH.

If you are low on disk space, and your goal was to not keep all the
extracted source directories around, you actually want to have a look at
the BUILD_CLEAN switch in gar.conf.mk. Running 'make clean' is not the
solution.
